Hello everyone,
I probably should keep my nose out of the used market because to many interesting things come up.

Anyway, I just saw a pair of RTi-A5's which how many people own the RTI-A series speakers? I remember when they came out all those years ago. I think they were the best example of the RT line back then. I also don't recall a new version of RT after that, is that correct or am I forgetting something?

Here is a pic from a listing near me. I promise I'm not going out right now to go pick them up LOL.

    Wait for the A7 if you want to try that line. I think you are right. That was the last iteration of the long running RT series. I think they kinda slid the Signature and Signature Elite into that price point.

    I'm so not trying to buy any more speakers, I think my wife will just kick me out the door. Anyway, I know the entire line from back then very well and yes the RTiA7's were pretty awesome. I have countless hours listening to them. I almost purchased a pair back in my Tweeter days, we had the entire line on display.

    Absolutely. I spent a lot of time listening to this line back in the day and I gotta say, I enjoyed them. They are a nice looking speaker as well, I really liked the redesign.
